Vulnerable and Underserved Populations with Perinatal Mental and Substance Use Disorders-View Presentation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This summary is a transcript of a video that is part of a four-part webinar series on perinatal mental and substance use disorders. The webinar series is a result of work conducted by a group of clinicians, researchers, and clinical researchers from various disciplines in mental and behavioral health. The project aims to investigate the low rate of psychiatric treatment in the perinatal population and the limited research on best practices for the treatment of perinatal mental and substance use disorders. The video discusses various topics related to perinatal mental health, such as the use of inclusive language, terminologies related to perinatal and postpartum periods, factors contributing to inadequate training of mental health practitioners, pregnancy loss, intimate partner violence, substance use disorders, mental health disparities among immigrants and refugees, infertility and mental health, and the mental health considerations for sexual and gender minority individuals. The video highlights the importance of providing affirming care, comprehensive screening for mental health issues during the perinatal period, and the need for further research and education in perinatal mental health for different populations. The video also acknowledges the funding and support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Psychiatric Association.
